Here are three websites:

http://www.malepregnancy.com/

http://www.martinlutherking.org/

http://digitalfreedom.org/

We would like to for you to pick one of these websites and evaluate it (discussing the website in general and using the different aspects of evaluating a resource that we talked about in class this week) and determine whether the site is scholarly.

If you have any questions, let us know!
